Abstract: To reduce the size of the front area (11) of a television set, it is proposed to arrange the large bass loudspeakers (25) required for good bass reproduction in a loudspeaker enclosure (22) arranged at the rear (21) of the set front area (11), in such a manner that a part of the sound pressure generated by the bass loudspeaker is radiated via a bass reflex tube (26) protruding into the loudspeaker enclosure (22) and the other part of the sound pressure is radiated via the cooling openings (16) in the set enclosure (10) and contributes to the diffused sound field. Due to the divided emission of the sound pressure, the bass reflex tubes (26) in the set front area (11) do not require any larger opening cross sections than, for instance, openings for high/medium-range loudspeakers or high-range and medium-range loudspeakers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radial line, (top-hat) disc geometry in conjunction with a varactor diode (31) are disposed in a broadband, ridged waveguide oscillator circuit to produce a frequency linearized voltage controlled oscillator (10). A negative resistance device (24) is recessed into the ridged waveguide (11) and coaxially coupled via an impedance transformer to the ridged waveguide cavity (12). The present invention uses a disc resonator (32) in a ridged waveguide to transform the microwave impedance of a non-RF generating element, a varactor diode (31), to values which provide improved voltage controlled oscillator tuning linearity. The disc resonator (32) or radial line is located above the varactor diode (31). The radial line transforms the microwave impedance of the varactor diode to a new value which is then coupled into the ridged waveguide circuit and subsequently to the RF generating diode (24). The circuit impedance, which is a function of the varactor voltage, acts to linearize the frequency versus voltage characteristic of the diode. A comparison of the operation of the circuit with and without the radial line/tuning disc shows a 13:1 improvement in the frequency linearity. Experimental results show that the circuit configuration of the present invention is ideal for use in microwave and millimeter-wave voltage controlled oscillators which require inherent frequency versus voltage linearity. Since the voltage controlled oscillator frequency linearity is a critical factor in phase locked loop performance, it is especially suited for use in microwave and millimeter-wave radar or communication systems which are frequency agile.

Abstract: A disk drive array includes a plurality of disk drives (28-0 to 28-n) in an input interface (24) for receiving data records from a data processing system (10). The input interface (24) organises each data record received in the data sectors for storage on the disk drives, identifies a plurality of sectors as a related group and generates a parity sector for the group, where each data and parity sector includes an appended error correction code. The groups of data and parity sectors are stored by striping across the available disk drives. A data recovery channel according to the present invention comprises: a disk drive controller (30-0 to 30-n) associated with each disk drive (28-0 to 28-n); a data buffer (32-0 to 32-n) retaining the data and parity recovered with each sector; an error status buffer (38-0 to 38-n) retaining indication of non-zero error syndromes generated upon recovery of a sector or occurrence of a disk fault associated with attempted recovery of a sector; an error syndrome buffer (36) for retaining any non-zero error syndromes generated during recovery of data and parity sectors; syndrome processing circuitry (42) connected to the error syndrome buffer for determining the correctability of the data of a sector, and for correcting the data in the data buffers, if possible; parity correction circuitry (40) receiving associated groups of data and parity information from the data buffers and correcting the data from up to one sector; and an array controller (34) operating upon the error status buffer and indications of correctability of data from the syndrome processing circuitry to direct the correction method for each sector of a group.

Abstract: An infrared holographic defect detector (10) comprises a far infrared pulsed coherent source (14) of infrared radiation which provides infrared radiation. The radiation is directed at a generally non-reflective surface (12), for example, a surface of an automobile body having a matt grey pre-coat thereon. A semi-transparent mirror (15) is placed in the path of the radiation to provide a reference beam (17) therefrom. An infrared detector (18) and a charge-coupled device (20) receives the radiation reflected from the surface and the reference signal. A comparator (22) compares the received reflected information and the reference signal and, preferably, information from a source (24) which defines a desired surface configuration in order to derive a quantitative measurement of the surface. A monitor (26) visually displays the quantitative measurement and location of any dents in the surface. To avoid a requirement that sequential automobile doors containing the surface of investigation be three-dimensionally aligned to within microns of reference points, a detector of the reflected radiation can be translated and rotated. A number of sensed images of the surface are taken, one at each of the different positions of the detector. For each image a measure of its correlation with the standard image is made.

Abstract: A microcellular station ( 107) is a transceiving unit covering a relatively small geographic area and adapted to establish bidirectional links between mobile telephone subscriber stations and a main base station (100). Each such microcellular station includes a transmitter (201) for generating outgoing signals directed to the main base station over an optical fiber link. Radio signals received from a mobile station at a separate diversity antenna (116) of the microcellular station (107) are frequency shifted (205,206) and combined (209) with other signals received from the mobile station. The transmitter at the microcellular station generates an optical carrier signal which is modulated by the resulting combined signals. A frequency converter, located at the main base station, restores the frequency band of signals received from the microcellular station to its original frequency. Frequency shifting and conversion are implemented at the microcellular station and at the main base station by frequency mixing steps performed by oscillators at both locations, which oscillators use the same reference frequency thereby achieving channel coherency.
